Barrister Blue, which due to it's ferro-tannate nature, went down blue, and when I washed my hands, only the black ferro- component remained.

Haha, thanks. Her fingers always look like that when she is writing or drawing with her pen - she's four. It's an older Pelikano that our oldest daughter passed on, because now she uses a Pelikan Level, a Pilot Metro, a Jinhao x750 and a Pilot kaküno.

For Christmas our younger daughter gets her first own pen from me - a Pelikan Twist.

However she would prefer a Visconti Divina, a Delta dolcevita or a Hakase custom made one - eek!

:D

My fingers turned that blue/green, because I was fishing out the plastic cup out of the sailor bottle that was coming loose.

Well, now they're Yama-dori teal, much like Noihvo's picture in #3581 above. At least the counter-top escaped unscathed.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Purple but not from ink! PVC pipe solvent cleaner! Harder to get off than even BSB!

Finger colored. I've managed to avoid ink on my fingers for a while now.

A spot of R&K Solferino - wiping a lovely P51 Demi (loaned by a friend) after inking.

Somewhere between Iroshizuku Shin-Ryoku, and Platinum Blue-Black.

Mostly off now, but early I had a fair amount of Diamine Oxford Blue on my hand; apparently with the incoming change of weather there were fluctuations in air pressure, and the Konrad the ink was in decided to burp into the cap.

Fortunately I do really like the color....

Bung Box Tortoise Shell Brown because of the thingy in the bottle. Wish they would leave them out.

This morning, there are a few lines on my left index finger, from testing to see if pens needed to be refilled or were just being cloggy; o whit: Waterman Mysterious Blue, and vintage Skrip Peacock Blue. Plus some smears which I think are vintage Sheaffer (brown box) Brown/Sepia).

And possibly a bit more of the Diamine Oxford Blue from yesterday....

A tiny bit of Lamy Coral on the tip of my left index finger. Yama-dori from the 6th still lingering.

Today was pen cleaning and ink changing day. I mostly have Emerald of Chivor, all over my index finger and under the nail. I also see a few spots of Iroshizuku Yama-budo on my thumb. Since I cleaned and then inked four pens in four different colors, two from sample vials using syringes, I'd say that I did a fairly decent job of it.

Iroshizuku Yama Budo. Not even mad :-)

 

MMMMM. Yama budo.... (sigh). I wouldn't be mad about that either.... :wub:
